Application fiiii' Apr i 2.

This invention. relates .to. an improvement 7 in gas burners,..ant l .hasfor its Ol) ]6Ct to provide a; burner wherein the formation, or

carbon. is'preventedand a high degree, or

heat-is eiiicie tly generated.

A further ohject otthe invention is to providea burner embodying a plurality of reversibleand, adjustable burner tubes whereby the action of the flame and heat generated maybe effectively controlled.

A still-further object-resides in the provision o't' a' burner which'is of simple and durable constructiom: reliableand "effective and-economical in operation, and easy and "comparatively inexpensive to manufacture.

Other objects-and advantages reside in certain novel features of-the construction, arrangement" and"- combination of parts which will be hereinafter scribed and particularly pointed outin the appended claims reference being had to the accompanying drawings storming a part of this specification, and inI whic1i:-- 3

Referring 1 designates a to the :drawings the numeral furnace or boiler structure having aiiasli pit door 2 provided with a damper 3' to regulate the supply of air to the firebox 4 of the furnace. In the firebox 4 the burner, designated generally at Band embodying the present invention, is provided. The burner B consists of a pair of side plates, designated at 5 and 6, and having slots 7 adjacent their ends which receive hooks 8 integrally formed with endplates 9, the hooks 8 extending through the slots 7 and engaging the plates 5 and 6 to interlock the end plates 9 with the side plates 5 and 6. The end plates 9 may be conveniently supported on bracket arms 10 secured to the furnace structure. A gas pipe 11 extends between the end plates 9 and the end por-' tionsof the gas pipe are received in flanged openings 12 provided in the end plates. Set

more -v fully 'de-.

flanges are I nated generally at 25.

burner pipes are reversible, either the short a or the long sectioii'being mounted on the side plate. *2 when" the the-side plates the flanges 23 engage the 1926. Seria1'm. 99,392.

screws 13 are threaded through the flanges 12 and engage theperipheries ot the ends or the gas pipe to secure the gas pipe to the end plates. The open ends of the gas pipe are adapted'for connection with a gas supply. line, but in the present supply pipe 15 is threadedly connected, as

"at 16, with a downwardly extendinginembodiment these open ends are closed by plugs 14 and the. gas

wardly threaded boss 17 integrally termed with-the gas pipe 11.

A gas pipev 11 is provided with two rows of laterally and upwardly inclined jet openings 18, the jet openings 18 underlying open;

ings 19 provided in the side plates 5 and 6 so that the etsof gas which issue from the openings 18 are directed to and flow toward the openings 19.

and 6 burner pipes, designated generally at 20. are mounted. Each burner pipe 20 has a relatively long 'section'21 and a relatively j shortsection 22, the sections 21 and 22 beingaii'gularly disposed with'respect to each other. ."The sections 21 and 22 have flanges 23 and 24:, respectively. The portions of the sections 21 and 22 outwardly of the designed to be received inthe or to receive burner tips, desig- In other words the openings 19 As shown in tull lines in'Fig. long sections 21 are mounted on such arrangements the burner pipe may be adjusted so that the tips occupy a vertical or a horizontal position and are located at different'distances from the burner proper. I

In operation the gas is supplied under and in either of In the openings 19 of the side plates 5 the short 1 section maybe mounted on the side plates supply line or pipe l -vided with tips at their outer the control of the valve 35 through the gas supply line or pipe 15 and the gas from the enters the gas pipe 11 and issues from the openings 18 thereof in the form of jets. The'jet's of gas entrain the air which is supplied up through the lower open end of the burner through the damper controlled openings of the ash pit door 2 and the entrained air and gas com- Iningle in the burner pipe to form a combustible mixture which is ignited at the openings 28 of the tips in such an effective and eliicient manner as to preclude the for mation of carbon and yet generate a high degree of heat with economy in the consumption of gas.

I claim:

1. A burner including a body having an inclined portion, a plurality of burner pipes, each burner pipe having both ends adapted to be rotatab'ly mounted on said inc-lined portion, each burner pipe including sections of unequal length extending angularly with respect to each other, and tip selectively mounted on either end of each burner pipe.

2. A burner having a body having an inclined portion and a plurality of burner pipes rotatably mounted on said inclined portion, each burner pipe including sec-- tions extending angularly with respect to each other, the burner pipes having tips at their outer ends whereby when the burner pipes are turned relative to the body of the burner the tips will be caused to occupy difterent positions with respect to the vertical and the horizontal.

3. A burner comprising a body having an open bottom and having inclined side plates, a gas pipe extending longitudinally through the burner and having laterally and upwardly inclined openings from which gas jets issue, the side plates having aligned openings, and open-endedburner pipes mounted in the openings of the side plates and proends.

4. A burner having a body made up of openings and having triangular end plates and side plates having the end portions fitted against the inclined edges. of the end plates, the end portions of the side plates having slots, the end plates having hooks extending through the slots of the side plates and engaged with portions thereof to interlock the side and end plates.

5. A burner having a. body made up of triangular end plates and side plates having the end portions fitted against the inclined edges of'the end plates, the end portions of the side plates having slots, the end plates having hooks extending through the slots of the side plates and engaged with portions thereof to interlock the side and end plates, and gas pipe extending between the end plates, and means for fastening the ends of the gas pipe to the end plates.

6. A burner having a body provided with openings and having a gas pipe within the body formed with jets aligned with the openings of the body,burner pipes havin end portions selectively engageable with the openings and having flanges adjacent the end portions engageable with the body to support the pipes in position, the ends of the burner pipes being also adapted to re ceive tips.

7. A burner having a body provided with a gas pipe within the body formed with jets aligned with the openings of the body, burner pipes havin end portions selectively engageable with the openings and having flanges adjacent the end portions engageable with the body to support the pipes in positioinand tips selectively engageable with the ends of the burner pipes and including shelllike bodies having lengthwise openings, one of the shell like bodies being open, the other end being closed by a head serving to connect the sections of the shell-like body and also serving as a flame spreader.
